THEODOR L-ANDMANN,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Tnnonon LANDMANN, of Oincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented a'new and improved Composition for Floors, Sidewalks, &c. and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description 3 thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a new composition for sidewalks, cellars, kitchens, and floors of all kinds, and has for its object to produce a floor or walk which is not ail'ected by the heat of the sun, or of an oven, which can bereadily cleaned, and cannot be perforated by rats, mice, or other animals.

, The composition is prepared and appliedsuhstantially in thefollowing manner: J

-A first at composed of two parts of ravel and omen? mixed in a dry state, and then with water s app red to the floor, walk, or street to be com Y It should beabout one and a half inch thick, and should he allowed to dry and thicken for a few hours before the second coat is applied.

h'econd co consists of one part ofiron filin one ure sand and two' parts of fime'n'l 'i' mixed iu'a' dry a555, and then with water.

- should be about half an inch thick, and should be wen smoothed and pressed by rollers, or otherwise.

When the compound has been allowed to dry for one or more days, it should be soaked with linseed gr,

0 enter and aiicet the mixture.

.The compound may be made-of various suitable colors, and may be painted after application.-

For damp cellars this-floor is of very great advantage, as it is water-tight.

Rats and mice cannot eat through it.

It can be readily cleaned by means of a wet cloth, or otherwise.

'The aforesaid proportionscau be varied, more or less, without materially changing the result.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- 1. The compound forfloors, sidewalks, &c., herein described,'when composed of the ingredients substantially in the manner set forth.

2. Soaking the cement floor or walk with linseed or other oil, afier it is dry, to make it water-tight, as specified.
